I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! will hopefully return to Oz later this year.
ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said the show, hosted by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, is “meant to be in Australia".
She said the castle format in 2020, won by podcast host Giovanna Fletcher, had been a “tremendous success" but clearly the show is keen to go back Down Under.
She added: “If we can go back to Australia – and this show is meant to be in Australia – then that’s what we’ll do.”
Speaking as ITV published its group annual results, she added: “We have a very good plan if not, as we have already done it once (in the castle)."
Last year’s series, which was a hit with viewers, took place at Gwrych Castle, near Abergele in North Wales, instead.
The comments come after host Ant recently said he would be "very happy" for I’m A Celebrity to return to Wales for the second year in a row.
He and co-host Dec were "welcomed" there as he added to Digital Spy: “There were cardboard cutouts of me and Dec in the butcher’s, and the local school did a tribute.
"We’d happily go back there. We’d miss the sunshine, mind."
The 2020 series featured a rather different living situation for the celebrity campmates, which included Vernon Kay, Shane Richie, and Beverley Callard.
The Bushtucker trials were also very different too, with the eatings tasks featuring more British-themed delicacies as opposed to kangaroo bits and Witchetty grubs.
The I'm A Celebrity news comes after ITV announced a bumper schedule and said Love Island will definitely be returning this year.
Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of Media and Entertainment at ITV, said: "There’s so much to look forward to on ITV this spring and into summer, with the Euros and the return of Love Island, but much more besides."
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is expected to return to ITV later this year.
